MMJ Company Appealing to Google Over Rejected Online Ads

New York-based Vireo Health, one of the five licensed medical cannabis producers in the state, is trying to persuade Google to let it run ads via its online platform, even though the search engine giant has rejected proposed ads from the company seven times now.

Vireo CEO Ari Hoffnung penned a letter directly to Google, the Journal News reported, and tried to make the case that his company has complied with all of Google’s requirements, which include a ban on the “promotion of substances that alter mental state for the purpose of recreation.” That ban is what Google has cited in its seven rejections of Vireo ads.
